1951: Robert Stack in "The Bullfighter and the Lady"

We remember today that Robert Stack was born on this day in 1919 in Los Angeles.   

Before he became famous with "The Untouchables", Stack made a few movies like "The Bullfighter and the lady".     It is a romance based in Mexico.

1964: "Fail safe" with Henry Fonda

----------

"Fail safe' was in theaters this week in 1964.  The movie gets better with age.    

Maybe it's because I've always lived in a world with nuclear weapons.   Or maybe it's just an intense movie.   Or maybe both!

The story is this:  Human and computer errors order US bombers to attack Moscow with nuclear weapons.   The President tells the Strategic Air Command to help the USSR stop the planes.

It does not get any more intense than this movie, specially the telephone conversation between the President and the pilot of the lead bomber.

It's one of those "must watch movies".     The story comes from a best seller that I have not, but will read.
